- WAXED G PAPER AND METHOD OF MAKING-Q THE SAME.

Application filed February 11,1924. Serial No. 692,192.

bread wrapper formed of waxed paper. In

recent years, it has become customary to wrap loaves of bread in sheets of waxed I wrapping paper that serve to keep the Whether wrapped by hand or by loaves in fresh condition and rotect them against contamination by han ling and by access of insects thereto. Ordinarily, the wrapping of loaves of bread is at the present time effected upon a wrapping and sealing machine, the waxed wrappers being folded and sealed about the loaves of bread as they pass through the machine.

machinery, it is found in practice that the wax with which the wrapplng paper is impregnated is aptto crack or crease where it 1s bent at various points and the creases or cracks thus formed inthe wax appear upon the paper as fine white lines and are apt to give to the wrapped loaves the appearance of having been handled.

My present invention is designed to render less conspicuous the lines or creases that are apt to appear in the waxed wrappers, incident to the creasing or cracking of the wax, and to this end, my invention consists in printing the waxed sheets or wrappers with designs comprising a multiplicit of lines closely simulating in color the ines that are necessarily produced in the waxed wrappers incident to folding the same about the loaves of bread.

The accompanying drawing represents a plan view of a sheet of wrapping paper embodying my invention.

Referri to the drawing, A designates the body 0 a sheet of waxed wrappin paper, such sheet being ordinarily pro uced by subjecting a web of paper to a bath of parafiine wax, in manner well, understood by those familiar with the art of making that consists in waxed paper. Before the web or sheet has been waxed, there is printed thereon a suitable design that comprises a multiplicity of lines a, the printing of the sheet being effected with white ink or with ink that will most nearly simulate incolor and appearance the color of the lines that appear in a sheet of waxed wrapping paper after it has been 'bent or creased to such extent as to crack or change the appearance of the sur-' face of the waxedpaper. 'The surface of the sheet of paper may be printed with any suitable design that will serve the purpose of my invention. Thus, for example, in

the drawing, the design shown simulates in appearance spider webs having disposed thereon at different points panels I) adapted to receive printed matter 0, such as advertisements or the like, these panels being preferably printed in white. ink and the advertisements or the like appearing thereon being printed in ink of a contrasting color.

It is obvious, however, that the particular deslgn printed upon the sheet may be varied without departing from the spirit of the invention. While a sheet of waxed wrapping paper madein accordance with my invention will, when folded or creased, show at points fine lines of whitish appearance, nevertheless, in view of'the fact that the. wrapping paper has a design in white printed uponits surface, will render the creases of the 'paper inconspicuous and .prising a multiplicity of lines, whereby lines resulting from the creasing of the paper are rendered inconspicuous.

2. The method of rendering inconspicuous the lines resulting from handling or creasing sheets of waxed wrappin paper, rinting upon such sheets in white ink a esign comprising a multi- 'plicity of lines.
